The applicant employers' organization sought accreditation as the exclusive bargaining agent for employers in the sewers and watermains sector.
The Board previously issued certificates of accreditation despite unresolved questions regarding whether two specific employers should be included in the unit, finding that the applicant met the double majority test under s. 127(2) of the Labour Relations Act regardless of the outcome.
The Board issued reasons for this jurisdictional finding, drawing an analogy to certification cases where unresolved employee status issues do not affect the union's right to certification.
The parties subsequently agreed on the status of the two employers, and the Board finalized the lists of employers.
The Board also varied the accreditation orders and certificates on consent to correct an error and clarify potential ambiguity.
